Yes, but be careful what you mean there.
It is _not_ a TPC test unless it is run under tightly-controlled and
-audited conditions as specified by TPC. And that effectively means
you have to pay them. In other words, it's not a TPC test unless you
can get it published by them.
That doesn't mean you can't run a test "based on the documents
provided by the TPC for test definition _x_". Just make sure you
walk on the correct side of the intellectual property line, or you'll
be hearing from their lawyers.
